There are now 2 more raiders on ebay and one in the box. I keep seeing really rare cars on ebay like the new bright 4wd in box
More R/C cars than your local hobby shop

The one raider I may try to get for parts. As far as nostalgia or collecting the one was long ruined with all the stickers on it and the deans plugs. When I got mine it had to be original with no tampering at all. The one in box has been rolled a few times if u look closely at the pics plus the rear tires are going bare. As far as the jeep I just had to tell my wife how quickly I destroyed my old one and she doesn't want me to get it knowing that. There are indeed some rare stuff popping up right now. I still want a buddy l rattler though but not seeing one yet.

I'm not normally a person to have buyers remorse while being the highest bidder on something but I put a 40 dollar bid on that new bright jeep and was the highest bidder and was thinking oh man what did I do. I destroyed that jeep faster than my firestorm that got ran over by a car so I was so glad when I got beat out by a dollar. It would have been nice to have another childhood toy but not one that didn't hold up. Money I would rather put toward a parts raider to keep my baby running forever  :P.

Dont sweat it, all you have to do is replace those *censored*ty pot metal hubs with the later plastic 2wd hubs and the weakest link is fixed. Now that your older you know how to drive it hard without destroying it.

After a few simple mods ive done to mine i actually run it pretty hard and even on 11.1v i have yet to break anything. Ive jumped it off lots of curbs, ramped more than 3 feet of air 10+ times and the truck still looks really nice. Ive gotta say with minor work they are much more durable than other comparable trucks
